A fixed wide-angle lens provides a broad 130° view to minimize blind spots, while a separate 2K pan/tilt lens with a 6mm telephoto delivers exceptional clarity when zooming in on specific areas. This dual-lens system enables simultaneous panoramic monitoring of two distinct zones. Furthermore, with synchronized smart tracking, the PTZ lens intelligently follows movements detected by the fixed AI-powered camera, ensuring continuous surveillance. Designed for flexible indoor and outdoor use with an IP65 rating, the camera boasts free AI detection for humans, pets, vehicles, and baby crying. The intuitive One-Tap Smart Focus allows instant zooming on selected areas within the wide view, and smart night vision offers black-and-white, full-color, or AI-driven automatic mode selection. Secure your footage locally with a microSD card or through Tapo Care cloud storage. The Tapo app is compatible with iOS 12 or higher and Android 6.0 or higher.

- One-Tap Smart Focus: Zoom in on any area of interest. Simply tap on the wide-angle live view, and the pan/tilt camera will instantly and precisely focus on that specific point, bringing crucial details into sharp clarity for immediate monitoring.
- Adaptable Night Vision Modes: Choose classic black-and-white infrared, vibrant full-color powered by built-in spotlights, or let smart auto-selection based on AI detection optimize the view for the best clarity and detail in any low-light scenario.
